Suddenly,
on Saturday, November 9, 2013, Claude passed away in the arms of his loving
wife, Vi.
Left
to lovingly miss Claude is his wife Violet (nee Tappin); sons Alan (Linda),
Jeffrey (Sherry); daughter Beverley (Brent) Mackie; grandchildren, Dennis
(Jessica), Sarah (Evan), Scott, Emily, Carly, Jordan, Tayvia (Lee); one great
grandchild Alayna; as well as many cousins with whom he had maintained a close
relationship. He was predeceased by his parents Cassandra and Herbert Gaye.
Claude
and Vi met in grade eleven and were married in Regina in 1949. They moved to
Winnipeg in 1959 and raised their family there. Claude worked as an Underwriter
in the General Insurance Industry throughout his career. After retirement he
and Vi toured the East and West coasts of Canada and the United States, before
settling in the Peachland/Summerland area of the Okanagan Valley for a period
of 21 years. They returned to Winnipeg in 2010 to be closer to their children
and reside in St. James/Assiniboia.
Very
community minded, Claude willingly gave of his time and talents wherever he
resided. He was a member of the Sturgeon Creek Masonic Lodge and St. James
Chapter #25 Order of The Eastern Star.
